Our group was very happy with their choices. We had separate checks and they prefer that we pay in cash to make it easier on the server. Our server was very good and I believe everyone felt well care for. We'll be back.

We love love love this great hidden gem! The other restaurants in the plaza are busy and nice in their own rights, but LaPlacita Cafe is... Great. They have an intimate setting, and the Mole' Negro is just like the dishes I ate in Puebla, Mexico!!! The service is excellent, the food authentic, the parking is generous, and a special benefit: The owners are fun and have a great sense of humor! Even the menu exemplifies the cool humor of the establishment. I'm a giant fan of the real Mole', but we've also delighted in many other meals!

The location is nice, food was good. I had the chilli relleno, cheese enchilada and taco combination plate. It came with beans and rice too. I'm just not a fan of American yellow cheese over everything, maybe use of some queso fresco would be good. The relleno and taco were tasty, freshly fried up! The waitress was very nice, but they seemed under staffed as service took longer than expected (and she was the only one working the floor). I'd recommend trying it all in all.

A true little hidden gem in Tucson. The food is amazing and authentic. The prices are very reasonable as well.

Good old Mexican food. Fast and pleasant. This is my favorite hidden place. Had lunch today and it was amazing. Went to Guadalajara yesterday and no comparison.

Disclaimer: My experience is based solely on their takeout. The food here has an authentic, Sonoran style. Dishes are prepared from scratch, and the ingredients tasted fresh. My only suggestion would be to sit down and eat at this restaurant, rather than order takeout. The portions seemed to be lessened, given the price of the dish. What I ordered: rice, beans, chicken enchilada, with beef tamale and beef taco.
